If you were an FBI lifer, I think you would postpone referral to the DOJ
to a Republican President. Obama is not going to allow an indictment of Hillary Clinton
There will be no trial during an election year
One would hope there will be enough leaks to prevent a Hillary nomination.
“One would hope there will be enough leaks to prevent a Hillary nomination.”
Problem is, enough Americans are dumb enough to honestly and truly believe that there really IS a “vast right wing conspiracy” that somehow magically makes all these things happen.
And when all is said and done, the media will play this as a Republucan "witch hunt" to Clinton's benefit, a la Ken Starr.
I would agree with your assessment, but for one overriding point: we’re dealing with the American electorate here.
While her “trial” in the court of public opinion will rage on for a couple more months, once the DOJ declination on indictment is announced, the public will view that as vindication and her approval levels will rise significantly as more voters come to regard her as a “survivor.”
Obama may be looking at a lose-lose, but his much greater loss would come if Hillary were indicted and began to implicate other members of the administration (and there are many) in an attempt to keep herself out of hot water. The current outrage, while heated at the moment, will dissipate as Americans resign themselves to the fact Hillary isn’t going away.
Obama — whose brain is wired to think of everything in political terms — has very likely weighed the pros and cons of whether to indict Hillary. As one whose primary objective is to keep his a** out of trouble in his final year, he will have AG Lynch delay any announcement of the non-indictment until the next manufactured crisis and quietly release the decision during a Friday night data dump.
The best evidence of all this is what I mentioned earlier... George Soros has poured $8 million into PACs supporting Hillary. There is no chance he would be parting with that kind of money on a candidate with even the slightest chance of dropping out due to criminal prosecution.
Much as we want her to fact justice, this simply isn’t going to happen. The most that will occur is some token criminal charge against a low-level underling. Our legal system is far too corrupt now for Hillary or her ilk to face the music.
Likely because they know it's all going to lead to a dead-end.
fact=face
Delay and string it out past the election.
DOJ is not acting because the whole top tier of our government is involved. The non secure server was offered up to foreign powers for money funneled to Clinton Fooundation and favors to the Obama administration. Obama is a treasonous SOB who may have directed the establishment of the open sertver, is directing no DOJ action and will pardon the whole cabal.
If Sanders really wants to beat Hillary,he needs to attack the email issue.
When does Bernie get his audience with the president?
Will be interesting to see if and how the leaks change following that meeting...
My guess is he gets told what he will get to step aside quietly when Biden breaks the white horse out of the corral.
What he may not be told is exactly when it all is going to happen.
Hillary is not the only one that should be looked at she was sending and receiving things from who knows how many people that should have known better. Did any other Obama appointees commit similar offenses? For all we know, Hillary could just be one of many. Is any of this type of behavior continuing in other Departments?
If Hillary was a Republican the Democrats screaming would be endless. Seems to work for them.
Scooter Libby did jail time over nothing because of their constant drone.
Knowing 'ole dog Trey's on this gives me the warm fuzzes. /s

The Valerie Plame business was the phoniest scandal that I can remember. Patrick Fitzgerald was out to bring down Dick Cheney and had to settle for Scooter Libby. But Libby didn’t have to go to prison—GWB spared him that (but he still had to pay a large fine...for the crime of remembering something differently than Tim Russert did).
There is a body of legal opinion (certainly not unanimous) that she will be able to pardon herself after taking office in Jan 2017.
And of course there’s little likelihood the R Congress would impeach and convict her for it.
Special Prosecutor needed!
Sounds plausible with this bunch.
Wow, I hadn’t thought of that.
I thought those pardons were something that presidents only did on their last day in office.... If she isn’t indicted, if she is allowed to continue running for office, if she wins the presidency... she might as well pardon herself because The United States we grew up in will have totally ceased to exist..
